SwitchBot gets an open API!

It was for the learning IR functions. Just wanted to be able to link everything together and seemed a cheap alternative to a harmony etc.

If it's possible to

  1. Use the main software to create and store custom remotes (which it is), then
  2. Use hubitat locally to make use of the defined remotes/custom buttons without cloud delays, and
  3. Can send repeat button presses or better, have "push and hold for x seconds" (to simulate holding the vol up/down

Then it would be ace. Lack of push and hold really was the nail in the coffin for me. I think this may be a limitation of the software still.
